Life As You Know It.

If you told me in my last year of high school, that five years later I would be a mom of two, I'd probably call you a sadist. 

If you told me that I would loose my closest friends, finish campus seven years later, doing one internship after the other, I'd call you a prophet of doom.

If you told me that my You Only Live Once would change to You Only Have One Life To Live, I'd call you boring.

And if you told me that I'd get born again, preach the gospel and join the praise and worship team, I'd have told you to stay far away from me.

Don't get me wrong, following and serving Jesus is amazing, the best decision I've ever made hands down. That was simply not my mindset then.

To me, salvation was a sentence to eternal boredom, preaching the gospel was for the unqualified in the society and praise and worship was for shady people with matching outfits.

My five year plan was to study abroad, get paid very well to do what I love, get married to Chris Brown and travel around the world. :)

"Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the LORD's purpose that prevails."

- Proverbs 19:21

Life has a way of teaching you what really matters. And God has a way of guiding you through it.

Experiencing Jesus changed it all for me.

It changed my mindset, shifted my priorities and gave me a new perspective of life.

It's no longer just about fun but purpose.
It's no longer about being a people pleaser but an influencer. And in my case, influencing people to be the best version of themselves as I pursue the same, daily.

Aren't I glad that His purposes are prevailing in my life now!

Like me, your five year plan might have never materialized, but that doesn't give you a ticket to settle.

You can still live the life that you desire, you just need to make different choices.

I have learnt overtime that where one invests; be it time, people, resources, expect a return.

So invest wisely, making every moment count.

People will always have something to say, not everyone will like you and that's okay. 

So don't live for people, live for God.

His opinion of you is pure, His Word is true and it gives life to your bones.

He is on your side. He is with you. He is for you.

Know this;

"I am the LORD, the God of all the peoples of the world. Is anything too hard for me?"

- Jeremiah 32:27

Be blessed.
